I believe that approach will demote my system from 2.2-stable to
2.2.whatever-current.  I checked the mailing list and some said their
GoldStar worked with 2.2.x and some said otherwise.  

I had been using Matcd driver until I inherited a 85% new system from a
friend (with another 6X Goldstar CDROM -- I had one before which never
worked under 2.1.5).  

I am not sure if the drive is PNP or non-PNP.  Anyways, I was just
guessing -current provides newer drivers.  

Just curious about incorperating new drivers into existing code: how'd you
guys do it without a patch code?  I mean, I would assume many files are
involved (in addition to atapi.c, atapi.h, wcd.c, etc.)

I am connecting the drive to the master of WDC1 if that helps.


Sincerely,

Tim
